Josh Allen

Right or wrong, the pressure is on Josh Allen this week against the Chiefs. He plays the most important position on the team and he is expected to set the tone for the team. In addition, the contract extension he signed in the offseason also comes into play as his performance in these high profile games are going to be tied closely to whether or not that contract was a good move.

After a disappointing performance in Week 1, Josh Allen has been exactly what the team needed. In the games against the Dolphins and Texans, the defense led the way and Josh Allen essentially had to manage the offense.

In Week 3 against Washington, they were able to put points up and Allen was able to produce and this offense really clicked. The Kansas City Chiefs have an excellent offense and this is a week the Bills are going to need a similar performance to the one Allen gave against Washington.

While the Buffalo Bills could win if the defense plays well or if the run game continues to produce, it is hard to image them coming away with a win if Josh Allen doesn’t have a good game.
